LUNAFEST™

LUNAFEST™ is a nationwide festival of short films by...for...about women. LUNAFEST™
runs from October-March, in that time it is shown by more than 100 venues nationwide
and is seen by over 20,000 viewers. For one night only Fresno is lucky to hold this
festival that raises money for Breast Cancer Fund and the Women's Resource Center
(WRC). Films touch on a variety of issues of interest to women and those who love
them.

The Women's Resource Center has held the LUNAFEST™ festival for eleven years. Community
member, Carla Jo Dakin, brought this event to the attention of the WRC. Unfortunately,
she passed away after battling breast cancer on September 8, 2006. In her honor Fresno
State's LUNAFEST™ has been named "LUNAFEST™ in Memory of Carla Jo Dakin."
